OK, back to some HT type stuff. I've mounted my rail and projector and am working on squaring up the image. What I ended up doing, is using a measuring tape taped to the wall at one end (only one person right now) and measured opposite ends of the screen in the vertical and horizontal direction until they are within 1/16". Quite a PITA even with a decent mount. I can see how lens shift is such a desirable feature.

Now that I have the screen square, I know how much offset the projector has in its default position and I can go ahead and get a pipe an ceiling mount that add 11" to the drop. From there I can use lens shift to adjust in the vertical direction, but I've got to get the vertical bang on. I'll probably have to redo the image squaring as well.

So, how do you guys go about getting the projector square to the screen?
